Seems to me like being able to implement things 10x more quickly than your competitors is a sustainable competitive advantage. If you're trying to appeal to employees/investors, being an order of magnitude faster is a good pitch. Think abou

I think he's implying that your site won't have a password. You'll instead use one of these services for both auth and payment.

I'm happy to see this happening. I pitched this same idea to a few friends last year and have wondered for a while why entrepreneurs don't commonly exchange equity simply to reduce the risk of entrepreneurship, and why there aren't funds li

Right. I didn't mean to take away from your point at all, which I do think is fascinating. I've just noticed that people generally do equate "energy intake" with calories that go into your mouth, and find that interesting.

I'm confused by the application of this law to food. My reason: excrement. You put some mass that contains chemical energy into your body. Then that mass comes out of your body, minus SOME of the chemical energy. How much of it is extracted

Thanks! This is helpful, and I think I'll give it a shot. I've pretty much already transitioned to eating mostly fruits/veggies/meats/whole grains, so I guess the main thing would be simply focus less on the grains and start counting calori

I'd love to hear about your experience, as I'm intrigued by the idea of trying caloric restriction but am somewhat stymied by the details. Specifically, how did you transition to a restricted diet? How have you felt, both emotionally and ph

I think this is fantastic. The layout immediately reminded me of looking at the elaborate covers and inserts in my dad's vinyl collection while listening. Essentially, feels like a more intimate way to engage music. Definitely still some UI

I think that having complementary skill sets is important, but I'd say that after technical skills, interaction design skills are probably more important than business skills. Like they say: first get to product market fit, then grow the bu

I believe the motto is "Don't be evil." I keep seeing "Do no evil" in places, including on large news sites, which is odd, because it completely lacks the sense of humor of "Don't be evil." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dont_be_evil

This is indeed pretty awesome. I was actually just looking through articles about getting it running today. I think for many collaborative apps it would be great to be able to use a barebones etherpad in a model much like we currently use t

Personally, I like both (a) making things and (b) making other people happy. It's why I cook dinner for friends. It's why I develop products. I think, as humans, we all have some broken parts in us, and hopefully adding value to other peopl

Seriously. This sadly written article lacks weight of any sort.

The article and analogy definitely made me smile. I agree with you to netsp, though, to a degree. I want them to be adding value in the mental space where their product lives in my brain, but not as narrowly as you say here. Relevant links,

Good article. Many points come from usability guru Jakob Nielson: http://www.useit.com/alertbox Edit: Reading through Nielson's site again after a long time, I recommend it highly. I think the article about paper prototyping is particular

hm. after using it for a while, it seems to slow down the development server quite a bit. have other people found this or am i hallucinating?

Okay, it is installed. And it is awesome. I'm a bit sad I didn't start using this before. Had similar feeling about command extensions and south when I started using them.

Alrighty then. Using out Django Debug Toolbar has been on my list of things to start doing for a while now, but after seeing this, how could I not start immediately?

The article misses the point of the original techcrunch article. Techcrunch never questioned how much/if twitter could/would make money. Rather, the original article made a genuinely interesting point that choosing to turn on revenue genera

Nice work. I just put two of our sites, getmiro.com and miroguide.com in, and and excited to see what it tells us. Is this really just an internal project in the way the blog post positions it, or do you have business ambitions for it? The

That's pretty sweet! The demo worked well for me on everything but Facebook, where it reloaded the page within the facebook popup, a littttle odd. This is a great start, though, for developing services that integrate with the API's of these

thanks geeko! we've worked hard on this over the past few weeks. it's been nearly impossible to get financial support from our community by simply asking for donations. hopefuly this will make it more fun for people and turn things around.

I actually quite liked the Pearltree gadget, though I don't think it's elegant. It provides a linear guide through the set of content, whereas links and a summary don't provide such structure. That said, as I think about it, I think a "Top
